Jesse Ylonen and Logan Brown were the game’s first and second stars.
Max Crozier’s two return games this weekend: 1-2-3.
Laval was in first place in the North Division entering the weekend and Laval has traditionally been a tough place for Syracuse to play. There’s still a long way to go for the Crunch to fully crawl out of the back end of a pretty stacked division, but this weekend’s result was a huge step as the team moved to 4 games over .500 on the campaign.
